The Daily Show points out the lazy MSM and their use of Blogs NOW

[Up2Late]

this is the 1:00am EDT replay. Very funny (about 5 mins. in)

On edit: Actually, the segment on "the Poker Craze" is on now (still funny), but the Blog segment is after the first break.

Wanda Sykes (sp?) is the Guest:evilgrin:

1. Saw it on the earlier 11:00PM show. Very funny and true too.

The cable news chanels do seem threatened by the blogers.

2. It seems like a race to the bottom

I just hope America survives 3 more years of this crap.:evilfrown:

3. 10:00 am EDT replay coming up

4. I saw it and it was hilarious

The scene with the CNN "blog girls" (who are nothing more than pretty web surfers on camera) getting a blank web site was funny. It illustrates how lazy Americans are when they get their blog news from a 30 second segment that shows a paragraph or two of a web site's content.

Fucking whores (cable news networks in general, NOT the CNN "blog girls")

7. I wonder if anyone recorded this. I'd love to see it and don't have cable.

If anyone reading this sees a video link, I hope they post it here.

8. I'll try to record it when it replays at 7:00pm EDT

Check back here about 8:30pm EDT, but by then it might also be at the Comedy Central website at: <http://www.comedycentral.com/>

Right now they have a clip from a few nights ago that shows how TOTALLY Lame T.V. Network news has gotten during "Sweeps Week" in a clip called "Secrets... Out"

It includes the Paula Abdul/American Idol "Sex scandal" and Dr. Phil interviewing Pat O'Brien about leaving drunken "sex talk" phone messages on women's phone machines, even when he was still married. :evilgrin:
